I had some spare time on my hands and rigged up a 3rd Monitor on my desk..

I had to fit my ancient Nvidia 7800GTX into my secondary PCI-E slot, Windows 7 installed it in the blink of an eye alongside my Radeon 4870 and imediately turned it on as a 3rd monitor, it was then simply a matter of rearranging the screens in the Monitor control panel so i can drag the mouse from right to left.

Its a line up of old Dells
24" 19" and a 15"

The screens are rather different brightness's I think I need to tweak some settings.

Probably a fairly pointless exercise keeping them all on the desk, I suppose I could move the 24" to the center and have the smaller ones on left and right.

Cool. Now you can have General Discussion on one monitor, Windows and Mac-Based on another, and General Hardware on the third!
